Aldar Kose, the Donkey and the King

The old King met Aldar Kose and asked him,
"People tell me that you know everything and can do anything. Can you teach a donkey how to speak?"
"Yes" he answered. "I will be able to teach it how to speak within 20 years. But you will have to give me money and half your kingdom."
"I will give you what you ask, but if you don't teach the donkey how to speak I will chop off your head," the King replied.
Time went on and Aldar Kose lived happily and had lots of fun. But people asked him, "When are you going to teach the donkey to speak?"
He anwered, "Never! Because in 20 years either the King or the donkey will be dead. I willenjoy my money now and wait to see who dies first!"
